Santana on second! (I like where this is going...)

Well, it doesn't help when 2 of the Sox' fly balls bounce off the wall for doubles...

Hughes finally retired Mr. Holt. Small victories...

Can't argue with that. Some credit probably goes to Lester and the way he's pitching.

Yeah. They'll never expect us coming back from twice as big a deficit... Now we have the element of surprise.

Hey, look at that... Mauer is leading off the next inning. As lead off hitter, he can start things rolling, right?

My, it's quiet here... Twins facing a familiar score (1-0) and perhaps we can do more this time?

I'd be happier if he led off every other inning. (Every inning would be a bit too greedy)

Nah, that's the easy way to score...

I hope so too. The fact that they can't shift the left fielder to halfway up the monster should make that outfield shift less effective against him.

Yeah, i've been distracted by that too... It's held up through the half, though both teams have had their chances.

3 for 5 for Fryer isn't bad. (Pinto hit a grand slam for Rochester) 2 3rd baseman injured is. (Hope they aren't very injured...) I whole heartedly approve of the ne'er say die attitude that made it interesting. Thanks for the company.

Hey! Dozier's back in the game!

Yeah, a non-out, perchance even a hit, woulda been nice there. Oh well. We still got an inning, and don't feel like i'm going to far out on a limb in this game to say anything can happen...

Funny. That just happened... But it was foul, so it didn't matter.

3rd time facing Mr. Sanchez... They say 3rd times the charm? or 3rd time pays for all? (Sorry i's not as talkative... i'm still paying attention though... kudos for the Sondheim)

Yeay! We got a third inning out!

5. The baseball isn't terrible, and the season isn't too short. (a um, restaurant to remember) Thanks all.

Mmmm... Good game... Sorry i don't have anything more useful to say on my mind...

I'm Brian! No, i'm not really brian, i was just pulling your leg... (too lazy to look up the actual quote...) We still have a lead, and perhaps we'll pad it this inning?

"Lower back tightness" is the incoming report on Dozier.

There was a collision between Nuñez and Dozier on a shallow center field fly that bounced out of Nuñez glove for a double in the second inning. It is speculated that has something to do with the substitution...

The future will be here when pencils have auto-correct. Next thing ya know, bats will also have auto-correct... (I think that's going to be my new theory of slumps/streaks)

Auto-correct strikes again! I wonder if this gives him a Land-o-lakes deal?

Sharp baserunning by Arcia. Looks like he was living dangerously, but he got back to 2nd on the pick off move and the snap throw from the catcher, and advances on a grounder to 3b. But he is stranded at 3rd... Oh well.
